Basic Life Support (BLS) and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Essentials Quiz

Heart attack often presents with sudden chest pain.

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

CPR is often indicated for individuals with absent pulse and unresponsiveness.

AEDs deliver electric shocks to restart the heart during CPR.

The initial step in CPR for an unconscious person is to call for help.

Adult CPR typically involves compressions at 100 per minute.

For adults, chest compressions should be at the center of the chest.

The Chain of Survival starts with early recognition, followed by CPR, defibrillation, and advanced care.

For adult CPR, chest compressions should reach at least 2 inches (about 5 cm).

In infant CPR, compressions should reach at least 1.5 inches (about 4 cm).

During infant CPR, hands should be placed at the center of the chest, just below the nipples.

In adult CPR, the ratio is typically 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

For infants, the compression-to-ventilation ratio is typically 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

If AED pads touch a pacemaker or ICD, avoid placing them directly over the device, but use the AED normally otherwise.

In two-rescuer infant CPR, the ratio is typically 15 compressions to 2 breaths.

If the chest doesn't rise after rescue breaths during CPR, perform chest compressions.

If a choking individual becomes unresponsive, start CPR immediately.
